  6. FAQs

  7. Where does the money go? FY 2014 Budgeted Expenditures = $ 40.6 Million

  8. Why not wait until others pay for new development / major enhancements, and then just license when it’s done? Plain and simple… if we all did this, nothing would be developed, and major technical upgrades would be impossible.

  9. Why should I contribute to new development? • The needs expressed in every solicitation come from our own task forces • Solicitations for new development / major upgrades keep annual license fees down • Participants get a voice at the table – input into design decisions and product directions

  10. Which agencies are funding new development? IA, MI GA, KY, LA, MN, NE, NY, OH, OK, TX, VA, WI, GA, KY, LA, MN, NE, NY, OH, OK, TX, VA, WI Investment (in Dollars) FL, MT, OR, SC, TN FL, MT, OR, SC, TN AL, CA, CO, CT, ID, IL, MD, MS, MO, NJ, NM, WY AL, CA, CO, CT, ID, IL, MD, MS, MO, NJ, NM, WY AK, AZ, AR, DE, HI, IN, DS, ME, NC, ND, PA, SD AK, AZ, AR, DE, HI, IN, DS, ME, NC, ND, PA, SD DC, MA, NV, NH, PR, RI, UT, VT, WA, WV DC, MA, NV, NH, PR, RI, UT, VT, WA, WV Agencies by Investment Level Six separate software solicitations since 2006, combined valued over $29.3 million

  11. Why do smaller states pay the same as larger states? • Investment and results are equal – Everyone gets the same deliverable(s) from development • License fees cover support and maintenance;Everyone entitled to the same level of service for equal cost • Specific deployment considerations thatvary state to state– like customization, training, etc. handled separately -- outsideof license fees, thru contract, or optional Service Units
